SIGNIFICANT ORDER. Bearing on the question of the army trans- port scrvice, it is significant that in an order {issued yesterday for the return of the regi- ments new In the Philippines it iz, provided that the regiments shall return on argiy tram vorts. This includes the last one, which di not come Lome until next August. It has gen- | | erally been supposed that the army transport system. if abandoned, would not be continued | beyond ihe present fseal’ vear, ending July 1 1903. But the provision for the transport rervice contained in this order makes it look | somewhat s though the War Department might | not ahandon the transports. Of course this order could eesily be changed. H. Herriman, of the Southern Pacifie, will arrive here next week, joining Mr. Mor- _Benator Perkins in their efforts to hold the Government transportation business at San Francisco. Harriman's influence will be powertully exerted in behalf of the commercial | interests centering in_San Francisco and for | | the continuation of the army transport service ere. Whatever proposition Harriman mas offer or euggest to the War Department will | look to the retention of the Philippines tran: port business at that point. James J. Hill on behalf of Seattle, and President Winslow, of the Boston Steamship Company, will ajso be here next week. The membérs of the mili- tary committees of Congress say that body will have something to say about the proposes abandonment of the transport service, and that Congress will not look favorably on the propo. | | sition. From New York last evening a special | dispaf®h was recelved confirming the averments made exclusively in The Call yesterday concerning the objections found | to the specifications submitted to the transportation lines. The dispatch is as ' follows: | The Pacific Mall and Occidental ana Orlental | Steamship lires declined to put in. Mae for transporting soldiers and frelgnt to and from the Philippines because the specifications as prepared by the War Department were not sat. isfactery. The specifications required bids on | freight per ton and on soldiers per man, and the clause with or without meals was objec- tionable. Furthermore, it was provided that | the Government could at any time employ its | own or other transports if advisable. This{ clause was especially objectionable to the Pa- | cific Mail people. They did not care to Ko to the expense of fitting up vessels for the mill- | tary service when at any time the Governmen. might declde to use its own transports. Efforts are being made by Harriman, of t# Southern Pacific road; Schwerin, of the Pacific Mall, | and Paul Morton of the Sania Fe Railway to get the War Department to issue new adve tisements for bids with revised specifications. They do not p to allow Hill to walk away with the contract and are prepared to give him a lively contest for the business, —_— | STOCK ASSOCIATION i PROPOSES CONVENTION | ‘Will Oppose the Merging of a Major- ity of Packing Plants Into One — Gigantic Trust.

BUILDS HOUSES OF STOLEN WOOD Charge Againsi; a Prop-| erty Owner of Bakersfleld. Officers Find Much Missing Lumber Piled on His Land, e BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 6.—A. B. Fisher, a builder and property owner of this city, was arrested this morning for stealing lumber. He was caught in the act of carrying off lumber. Fisher resisted ar- rest and hid in a vacant bullding. . Fs- caping from this structure, he was track- ed to his tent. A pistols thrown away in his flight was found. A search of Fisher's premises revealed about $500 worth of stolen lumber, includ- ing gew doors, window sashes, etc., all piied up in plain view. A portion of it already has been identified. Two hun- dred dollars’ worth of provisions from the Santa Fe eating house, which was burglarized two nights age, was found buried in the yard, besides an immense quantity of other plunder. Fisher had built a fence around his place and a chicken house of the most costly’ lumber to be had, and from ap- pearances, was preparing to bulld a house, as he had material enough for that purpose. Fisher has built three houses in Bakers- field and only last week completed three others in Kern City. It is now alleged ‘that he stole a large part of the material used. WILL GO IN SEARCH OF KIDNAPED HUSBAND Dr. Susan Rijhart to Brave the ‘Wilds of the Interior of Thibet. TACOMA, Dec. 6.—Dr. Susan Rijhart is preparing to start for the interfor of ac- cessible Thibet in search of her lost hus- band and to visit the grave of her little boy, whom she buried on the steep sides of the snow-capped Dangle Mountains. For four years Mrs. Rijhart has not known whether her husband was dead or alive. They were married eight years ago at Hiram, Ohio, and started for Thibet as missionaries. They visited Luscar and Tankar, where the inhabitants received them kindly, despite the terrible Moham- medan uprisings. There their boy was born. In the spring of 1898 they began their perilous journey toward the coast. The child died and was buried. At the ford of Tsachu River the Rij- harts were attacked by a band of brig- ands and 'sought refuge in some cliffs, ILeaving his wife to rest, Rijhart set forth alone to reconnoiter. She waited | in vain for three days, but never saw or | heard of him afterward. She lives in ths hope that he is alive and now goes to Thibet to find him. After his disap- pearance she reached civilization after a hard struggle. —_——— CHIEF OF GRAND ARMY NAMES HIS OFFICERS Include a Number of Not- able Men. w1840 HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 6.—General Thomas J.

Victim’s Body Then Placed on Railroad to Cover the Crime SAN JOSE, Dec. 6.—Manuel Cabral, whose mangled body was found on the railroad track a half-mile this side of Mil- pitas this morning, i3 believed tg have been a victim of murder and robbery. The theory is that his body was placed on the track in the hope oi hiding eviuence of the crime. Cabral, who has just quit a position as cook to return to Massachusetts, had several hundred dollars in his possession yesterday afternoon. At that time ne was in the company of t—o unknown men. With them, it is believed, he left this cty at 6 o'clock to walk to Mission San Jose. Supporting the murder theory 1s the evidence of the locomotive fireman of the train, who believes the body was lifeless at the time it was’..ruck. Only 50 cents was found in tr: dead man’s pocket. At the inquest this evening so strong was the evidence of murder that the Cor- oner’s jury refused to bring in a verdict and referred the case to the Sherff to in- vestigate. The inquest was then ad- journed until next Friday. Fireman Warmsley testified that at the point where the body was found he had noticed a dark object on the track just as the train approached it and remarked about it to the engineer. It was dark at the time, but he believed he saw it move Jjust as the train was about to str e if. He told the engineer this and the latter said that probably it was a dog. Deputy Coroner Hocking téstified tha: ' he had made an investigation and foun: that Cabral had been drinking in th: Commercial Hotel in this city as late as 5 o'clock yesterday afternopn. Two un- known men were with him. Cabral dis- played several hundred uollars when buy- ing a drink. The three men left the place together. Cabral was a natlve of Portugal and was 32 years of age. He had been em- ployed ‘at) the Twelye Mile House, south of this city. He intended to return to Massachusetts, but started to walk to ‘Mission San Jose to visit some friends be- fore his departure for the East. HOTEL ARRIVALS. AT THE NEW WESTERN.

MARYSVILLE, Dec. 6.—An attempt was made last night to derail train No. 18, on the Oroville branch road, about one mile and a half above Binney Junction. Some miscreant had wired a fishplate to the rail, but, luckily for the passengers, the train passed over in safety. When the train arrived in Oroville Conductor Schultz notified the Sacramento officers and the Marysville officers were imme- diately apprised of the facts. No. 18 is a passénger train Tunning be- tween Sacramento and Oroville, over the Knights Landing road, and arrives in this ®ity at 8:45 o'clock. No information could be obtained to-day from railway officials in this city, but officers are busily engaged on the case, It is learned from reliable information that the deed of. last night is the third attempt of its kind oc- curring this week. Twice previously fish- plates were simply placed on the rails, ut last evening the plates were wired wn, which would indicate that the mis- creant was determined to make the third attempt successful. That he did not suc- ceed was due to the fact that the engine wheels cut the wire and passed over safe- ly with the train. —— Declines to Pay Two Demands. Auditor Baehr returned without his ap- proval yesterday two salary demands calling for $39 66 each in favor of Barnett Franklin and A. J.

American Schoonef Lucinda Lowell Strikes the Rocks. HALIFAX, N. 8. Dec. 6.—The violent storm which swept over the Nova Scotia coast last night caused many marine dis- asters and some loss of life. The wind blew nearly fifty miles an hour and was accompanied by sleet and snow, and the temperature was below the ‘ireesing point. Nine schooners broke their anechor- chains in Sydney harbor and were dashed ashore. Most of them were Newfound- land fishermen and some will be a total loss” The worst wreck reported so far is that of the American schooner Lucinds Lowell of Canso. “She struck on a ledge of rocks and hung fast with the seas breaking" over her. The crew suffered terribly from the ecold until rescued to-day. The six survivors were brought to Canso by the sSteamer Active, which went to their assistance | wher: the dismasted wreck was sighted. The mate, George Roberts, was killed by a falling spar and one of the sailors, Pe- ter Fougec, was drowned in the breakers in an attempt to reach the shore. The British steamer Harlow, which was thought to have foundered with all hands, has arrived safely at North Sydney. ——— . . Legislators for Navy Active.
